   Looks like a 70s carpet.

   If you cropped out the middle part it would look like an aerial view of the Irish countryside.

   Reminiscent of Van Gogh.

      Thats exactly what I thought. If it wasn’t for the rubbish it would be beautiful.

   Sheila, are you ever not at that bridge?
   1. Sheila July 17, 2015 at 2:31 pm

      I’ve a confession to make. I’m really a troll… but a nice one. Please don’t hat me :)

   Can’t wait for a couple of idiots to walk across it.
   1. Bacchus July 17, 2015 at 2:51 pm

      Dogs sometimes do that. It’s not funny

      The toothless wonders who sit along here drinking Bucky will probably go for a mosey across it later!

   canal aglae – boo!

   not to be confused with marine algae, which produces up to 80% of the earth’s oxygen – yay!

      Prob not helped by all the grass cuttings from when they were mowing the banks being chucked in to the canal.

   Eutrophication.
   1. scottser July 17, 2015 at 3:52 pm

      hi – poxy, eh?
10. Weldoninhio July 17, 2015 at 2:40 pm

    Eutrophication, removes oxygen from the water, killing any fish etc. At least in the canal it’ll work for good, slowing the rust of the many native trolleys.

    Some scum in Dublin alright
    1. scottser July 17, 2015 at 3:34 pm

       yah, you’d know it was dublin scum by the lack of confederate flags.

          “Boom Boom!” to aisle five, for Scottser ! :)

    As an aside, anyone still thinking of jumping in the canal for a paddle would be wise to wander up to the Kylemore road end before doing so. It’s terrible.
    1. Spaghetti Hoop July 17, 2015 at 7:21 pm

       Anyone jumping in the canals for a paddle is far from wise in the first place. The amount of nitrates, phosphates, effluent, motor fuel, rotting animals, rusting appliances and (possibly) a dead body would make you seriously ill.
    2. Jones July 18, 2015 at 1:37 pm

       It’s natural selection. Stop discouraging it.
15. D2dweller July 17, 2015 at 8:24 pm

    That’s vile. Stomach churningly so. What do the council be at?
    1. Mick Flavin July 17, 2015 at 8:26 pm

       It’s Waterways Ireland’s responsibility I think, not the Corpo’s.
       1. D2dweller July 17, 2015 at 8:30 pm

          Think you’re right actually. They’re the ones who’ve been spending the last 3 and a half months replacing the gangway just behind that photographer.

          They a department of the OPW I presume? If so, that explains a lot
          1. Mick Flavin July 17, 2015 at 8:33 pm

             I’m not sure if they’re OPW, but I know they work fairly slowly. Maybe they have their reasons (playing extreme devil’s advocate here).

             cross-border agency set up after the Good Friday Agreement.
